Chapter 203: Big Production
After watching the film, Ren Shuai finally knew why the crew's budget in the later stage would be insufficient.
This kind of dense combat special effects picture is no longer enough to describe it with burning money, it is simply a banknote evaporation technique visible to the naked eye.
Although he watched the film twice as fast, Ren Shuai felt that this work was indeed very sincere, the picture special effects and sets were all cost-free, and the actors' performances were above the standard.
Through the video, you can see the energy and effort put into the producer, and it is absolutely full of sincerity.
Once the production is completed and released in theaters, it is very likely to become a hit.
And it's still that kind of word-of-mouth masterpiece.
Ren Shuai thought to himself, no wonder when Mr. Sun laughed at this work and was sorry for the audience, Mai Ran's reaction would be so big.
It is conceivable that as a semi-local sci-fi that is rare in Yezhou, the producer must have great ambitions and goals.
Looking at this production intensity, you know that they definitely want to open up the film market for local science fiction films through this work.
If it weren't for the lack of funds, the producer probably wouldn't want to invite Ren Shuai to dub the vocals.
At the beginning, Mai Ran spent a lot of effort to persuade the production team and investors to agree to the vocal dubbing.
In the end, he took out the video clips of Ren Shuai dubbing the robots and battle scenes to make them agree.
As the video ended, Mai Ran said, "Mr. Li, do you need to do some preparation before dubbing?" ”
Ren Shuai shook his head, he didn't need to prepare for this kind of open party, just silently use the dubbing card.

Although Ren Shuai is now more recognized, he still hopes to solve the problem quickly, and the prop card can be saved by one.
"Let's get started."
After speaking, Ren Shuai walked into the dubbing room, put on his headphones, looked at the picture, and raised his hand to signal that he was ready to start.
At this moment, a middle-aged man pushed the door and entered the dubbing room.
Mai Ran's face was uncertain when he saw this, and there was an indicator light outside the door of the dubbing room, which would light up when he was ready to dub, telling people outside that they didn't need to enter at will.
But Xie Ding middle-aged still walked in.
"Director Qian, go out and talk about something."
Mai Ran's voice was extremely low, and he took the initiative to walk over, open the door and walk into the corridor with Xie Ding.
"Mr. Mai, I went to enlighten Mr. Sun just now, and he knew that his attitude was wrong, so let me apologize for him." Director Qian said.
"It's not a rush, you can say it at any time, don't you see the light in the dubbing room?" Mai Ran asked expressionlessly.
Director Qian hurriedly snorted and said, "I'm really sorry, I thought you just went in, and you didn't look at the indicator light before you started so soon." ”
Mai Ran didn't just nodded and said, "Then if there's nothing else, you can go back and get busy." ”
"Well, actually, there's another thing." Director Qian smiled and continued: "I recently contacted an investor, and they are very interested in the film and have the intention of investing. ”
When Mai Ran heard this, he said, "Then you should hurry up and connect with them and see what the other party wants." ”
Director Qian rubbed his hands, and stopped talking a little: "The other party watched our preliminary promotional video, and felt that the production was very good, especially the background sound effects and other aspects were very grand, so I had the intention to invest." ”
Mai Ran felt that there was something in his words, and said directly: "We are all colleagues, if you have anything to say, you might as well say it directly." ”
"That, I think so, we have invested a lot in the early stage, and the overall production is very delicate, but if there is a short board in dubbing due to post-funding problems, it will be a bit more than worth the loss."
Director Zhao went around in a circle and finally said the purpose of the trip.
Mai Ran's face remained unchanged and said: "The use of vocal dubbing has been set before. ”
Director Zhao said with a smile: "Before, it was because of a shortage of funds, but now there are new investors?" ”
"The investor just has the intention, can he take the money out immediately?"
After Mai Ran asked rhetorically, he continued: "Let's not say whether the other party will really invest in the end, it will take half a month just to go through the process, and when the funds are in place, the daylily will be cold." ”
Director Qian obviously thought of this question earlier, and replied directly: "Mr. Sun can also discuss, our money may not need to be in place in one step, and it can be implemented in installments." ”
Mai Ran continued to ask rhetorically: "As for the construction period, can you guarantee that they will not get the final payment and deliver the work on time?" ”
Director Qian smiled and said: "This can be written in the contract, if they pay one day late, they will compensate us for the corresponding losses." ”
Mai Ran sighed, and saw that Director Qian was determined to persuade her to use the computer for dubbing.
However, due to a lack of funds, the dubbing work that was supposed to start has been delayed for a week, and even if it is restarted now, there is no way to get it back.
But manual dubbing is different, no cumbersome programming and debugging is required, only microphone recording is used, and the progress is much faster.
Seeing that Mai Ran was silent, Director Qian felt that she should be moved, so he hit the railway while it was hot: "No matter how good the vocal dubbing effect is, it will definitely not be as good as computer synthesis, this film is the hard work of everyone in our team, and everyone doesn't want it to be flawed." ”
Mai Ran had already analyzed the situation, and the kind of Fang Eucalyptus mentioned by Director Qian also had some ideas.
However, the first is that it is definitely too late, and the second is that the funds are really insufficient, even if there is additional investment in the future, it will not be able to avoid the hundreds or even tens of millions of losses generated during the delay.
"Since Mr. Li has already come to dub us, why bother to use computer dubbing, it's a complete waste of time and money."
In a word, Mai Ran rejected Director Qian's proposal.
The smile on Director Qian's face suddenly darkened, and he originally thought that the persuasion was successful, but he was unexpectedly vetoed by Mai Ran.
But Mai Ran still has the final say in the crew's affairs, he can only squeeze out a smile and say: "Vocal dubbing is cheap and fast, that's right, but you get what you pay for, I don't believe that Li Laifu can still match the same effect as special effects." ”
His words also made Mai Ran stiffen slightly.
Mai Ran had only seen Ren Shuai's dubbing performance on the Internet before, and she didn't know if she could match the effect that the film wanted.
But Ren Shuai was invited by her, and he is also a big name in the dubbing industry, and this time he was invited by only 200,000 yuan, all for Cui Shaoyu's face.
"There is no need to question Mr. Li's dubbing strength, otherwise he would not be Meiying's dubbing teacher." Mai Ran said affirmatively.
When Director Qian heard this, he immediately answered: "That's good, isn't he dubbing in it, the effect is not good, let's go in and listen to it, won't we?" ”
"Okay, but I have something to say first, if there is no problem with Mr. Li's dubbing, you should not mention the matter of special effects dubbing."
"Okay, that's a deal."
With that, the two pushed the door and entered the dubbing room.
